I hope they keep using "Swiftboat-like attacks" or as I call it "vicious truthing" on Senator Obama. I'd be fine with her assuming the presidency at any time, should, God forbid, President McCain pass away.

In reporting Sarah Palin’s statements about the Obama-Ayers connection, MSNBC’s early morning C-teamer (can’t remember the goofball’s name) dismissively remarked that Ayers and Obama had merely served on the same board of directors some years ago. The network droid failed to mention the personal friendship of many years standing, their intricate and long-running business relationship on that board, that Ayers was in fact Obama’s boss at one time, or that its was in Ayers’s house that Obama actually launched his campaign.

Now, MSNBC has every right to support the candidate of its choice (and Obama is the media choice in every sense of the term). They do not, however, have the moral right to lie to the American people to advance that cause, nor do they have any moral or logical basis for claiming to be an objective source of news and analysis.

We will be in unknown territory when Obama attempts to revive the misnamed “fairness doctrine” as a payoff for MSM support. This, of course, will be a totalitarian censorship regime; aimed at suppressing, not simply opposition to liberalism, but every alternative to and dissent against the standard cultural model of the media-industrial complex. Many dictators have imposed such censorship in the past, or still do today, but there is no precedent for a censorship regime in which the commercial media themselves are the arbiters and controlling authority of that regime.

Look at who these people are; monsters of vanity and ego, ruthlessly greedy, pathologically arrogant, isolated, ignorant in many cases of the most basic facts about the subjects they pretend to report.

We will be in the hands of devils if they gain the final measure of power for which this campaign sets the stage.

Palin is at her best when she goes snarky.

The Obama campaign responded that Palin’s remark was offensive but unsurprising, and foretold a strategy of “Swiftboat-like attacks” during the campaign's final month.

Swiftboat politics: telling the truth about someone.

I like what she is saying, but I would rather she be saying it in Michigan than California.

I wonder if the Obama campaign is aware that "Swiftboating" is telling the truth about someone? It is important that voters know the facts and what has substance and what does not.

Gov. Palin is doing right in exposing this radical fraud Obama, but I think she could up it a notch and cite Obama choosing to kick off his campaign having Ayers host a fundraiser. She needs to make it specific. THAT is damning and doesn’t allow the press to pull their BS about crossing paths. Cite the fundraiser repeatedly.
